You Say "Must" -- I Say "Ash"

Let me add a little explanation for my fascination with ballplayers with the horseshoe mustache. It's a lot like Dinged Corners' love of players with big smiles, I just simply enjoy them. It's as simple as that. To a certain degree, the mustache is an attempt to look "bad ass" and I love it when it goes right [cut to my post on Luis Tiant...you'll have to wait until tomorrow for that...].

It is also a style that I have toyed with myself...earlier this summer I had the look of a Southern General about to ride into battle against the Yankees...It lasted two days and was nearly a mustache that could end a marriage. Here I am giving my best "3 balls, 2 strikes bottom of the ninth I'm going to strike you out stare down."
